Birth support, rooted in trust, guided by evidence.

I'm Susan Donovan, a birth doula dedicated to serving families and individuals throughout NYC.

I am a born and bred New Yorker, mother of 3 adult daughters, and life long advocate. I came to birth work later in life after many years in the advocacy space as a NYC teacher, Career and College counselor, Post Secondary Persistence coach, and NY State Parole advocate. I am excited to support birthing people and their families, driven by the belief that everyone should be able to access support regardless of their financial situation.

I can't guarantee outcomes—but I can guarantee that you'll feel supported and heard every step of the way. I'll help you understand your options, clarify your wishes, and make sure your voice is present in every conversation with your healthcare team.
